The final safety valve (a typical safety valve is shown in Figure
16) protects storage tanks and the compressor from excessive
pressure; the valve setting is made at the time of compressor
testing. The safety valve is factory adjusted to 6000 psi (414
bar) or 6454 psi (445 bar), depending on customer
specifications.
The safety valve must be tested every 250 working hours of the
compressor. To check the safety valve:
•
Set the pressure to a pressure higher than that of the valve setting.
•
After attaching all fill whips to tanks, start the compressor with the tank valves closed.
•
Using the final pressure gauge, note when the safety valve trips to ensure the valve activates at the
maximum working pressure.
Tampering with the safety valve to increase the pressure setting is strictly forbidden. Tampering with
the safety valve can seriously damage the compressor, cause serious injury to personnel, and renders
the warranty null and void. Should the safety valve fail to work properly, contact Nuvair Technical
Support.

Storing Technical Documentation
The use and maintenance manual and its appendices must be stored carefully and must always be kept where
they can be accessed easily for immediate review.
This Operation Manual contains important safety information and should always be available to those
personnel operating this equipment. Read, understand, and retain all instructions before operating
this equipment to prevent injury or equipment damage.
The Operation Manual is an integral part of the compressor and must always be handed over in the
event of a change in ownership.
10.0 Control Panel
Descriptions here are for control components not associated with the Dashboard touchscreen. By design,
functions of certain control panel components are also monitored by the Dashboard. Certain exceptional
events will result in the Dashboard alarming. Critical alarms will result in compressor shutdown. Refer to
section 4.0 for additional information on Dashboard use.
